You see, this is why I kind of don't even want to bother ever discussing it any more. Ohh, I expect this, I expect that... on what basis, none whatsoever. It's hundreds bits merely to locate the camera, for god's sake. Let's say I expect a god in 50 bits, for the sake of argument.
edit: and by the way, for the laws of physics as we know them - non discrete - an exact representation is not even possible.
Up to BusyBeaver(a few hundreds) bits of sensing data (edit: which is due to it being easy to set up codes that are identical until very many bits are outputted) .
